Wild Horse Education

10

A young stallion breaks from his family and tries to draw the predator, the helicopter, away his family. When that does not work they race ahead and try lead their families away from danger.

This area is one where wild horses survive with a healthy mountain lion population. We have been documenting big cat sign in the area for a decade. (note: our documentation shows population growth rates in this area are significantly lower than on the east side of te complex).

Neither mountain lion, nor wild horse, could evade man and the management that claims to achieve a healthy ecological balance. Wild horses were removed as mountain lions were killed at Triple B in February, 2018.
